Through billions of years of evolution and natural selection, biological systems have
developed strategies to achieve advantageous unification between structure and bulk …

Multiscale structures of biological materials exhibit inherent multifunctional integration. This
special biological solution provides some inspiration for scientists and engineers to design …

Aqueous electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices have attracted considerable
attention due to their advantages of low cost and high safety. However, the freeze of …

Materials that are strong, ultralightweight, and tough are in demand for a range of
applications, requiring architectures and components carefully designed from the …

The formation of regular patterns is a common feature of many solidification processes
involving cast materials. We describe here how regular patterns can be obtained in porous …

Ice templating is able to do much more than macroporous, cellular materials. The underlying
phenomenon—the freezing of colloids—is ubiquitous, at a unique intersection of a variety of …

The substantial reduction in summer Arctic sea ice extent observed in 2007 and 2008 and its
potential ecological and geopolitical impacts generated a lot of attention by the media and …

Ice in the environment plays a central role in both global-scale processes on Earth and
many human activities. Issues related to its description, including the modelling of natural ice …

The evaluation of a numerical criterion to provide quantitative insight on freckling conditions
is critical to the successful manufacture of large superalloy castings. Of the criteria reported …

The atmospherically and technologically very important process of brine rejection from
freezing salt solutions is investigated with atomic resolution using molecular dynamics …
